Like A Man So Mean

As i lay my fist on wall
my knees gets so weak
crashes down on floor
i barely could speak

light turns to darkness
voices captures my mind
every inch of body aches
just when i look behind

everytime that we make a fight
i feel my end coming so close
somehow it happens everyday
these fights have become a daily dose

sometimes i just wonder
if we all go through same?
if we are born to be blamed?
will these things ever change?

i guess, i make no sense
life is just meant to be so green
on the other side of the fence
and so i keep breathing like a man so mean

(Please let me know if this one fits in this contest)
Thanks

Like i said anything'll do
and im glad you had youre attention grabbed by it.

and yes its perfect.

keep 'em coming

My Mistake

Everything was going so right,
Nothing would keep us apart.
But it all ended in just one night,
One night that broke my heart.

I did something you couldn't take;
something that stopped it all,
something that made us stumble and fall.
I'll admit it, I'm sorry; It was my mistake.

Now I sit by myself, all alone,
in this dark and empty home.
Thinking about that we had,
over and over keeps making me sad.

It seems that nothing will be the same,
The sorrow and guilt are too tough to tame.
Someday I'll be strong and make it through,
For now I'll sit and think of what I did to you.

I did something you couldn't take;
something that stopped it all,
something that made us stumble and fall.
I'll admit it, I'm sorry; It was my mistake.

My eyes are now welling up with tears,
For I'll be living my with my worst fear.
Unable to talk, unable to hear your voice,
Although I know I have no choice.

It was too much for both of us to take;
It was something that ended it all,
something that made us stumble and fall.
I'll admit it, I'm sorry; It was my mistake.

I stack this wall
Of yellow bricks
To keep you out
To hide your tricks

You lie again
I die again
I fear this is
Goodbye, the end

I build this wall
Twelve feet tall
Within my mind
Inside, it binds

Me and my happiness
And blocks you out
Wherever I go
You'll never know

I scrape my mind
Of memories I find
Leaving no trace
Not even your taste

I loved your kisses
I loved your laughs
You screamed at me
That's in the past

Goodbye my love
This is the end
You don't exist
I will pretend

I stack this wall
Of yellow bricks
When push comes to shove
Goodbye, my love

xX[. Unhealed Wounds .]Xx

There's unhealed wounds surrounding my shattered heart,
Poison running through my blood which you helped start.
Unwanted thoughts flowing through my innocent mind,
Of wanting to leave this horrible world that God designed.

Remembering the moments when you slapped my face,
I was shocked and afraid to run back to that place.
What I had called home was living in constant fear,
Cause I learned not to judge from what may not appear.

Purple hand marks covered my tanned back everyday,
I'd cry at night telling myself it would all be okay.
A tough knight in shining armor would come rescue me,
Releasing me from her prison, setting me free.

His hands were smothering me, unable to breathe,
Screaming and yelling, wishing that he would leave.
Choking my throat so tight that I couldn't escape,
Pleading to him please no, this is wrong, this is rape.

Breaking down on my knees with the glass in my hand,
Tears were soaring because no one could understand.
My body was shaking, it had become so numb,
Realizing I'd finally reached the rock bottom.

There's unhealed wounds surrounding my shattered heart,
Poison running through my blood which you helped start.
Unwanted thoughts flowing through my innocent mind,
Of wanting to leave this horrible world that God designed.

Life-Sentence

Tile floor?
There was a tile floor that evening.
And the mirror?
I could not fall through glass.
The reflection staring back could not be me.
Too pale with brown freckles standing out.

Trembling lip.
Wide blue eyes.
Deep.
Scared.
Black lines around.
An ocean of nausea washed over me,
Threatening to engulf my body.

Tile floor!
Cold as I fell to my knees.
Hands wrapped around my chest.
Rocking back and forth to calm breathing.
Fast breathing...
Pounding headache.

"Please let me leave." I whispered.
Under my breath I continued to beg.
Something was crawling in my stomach.
I could feel hands on me.
Not mine.

"Stop touching me." I whispered.
Crying without anyone to hear.
Not a soul was there besides me,
But in my mind there he stood.

Dizzy?
Was that what I was,
When I was able to make myself stand.
Nervous that I would feel it again?
Experiance another intense flashback?

Was this my life-sentence
for a crime I had not committed?

What's Happening Now

Tongue lashing, eyes piercing
Face slapping words of shame
Love fading, truth draining
Soon vileness will reign

A brotherhood of poetry passion
Drifting off in silent dust
Art replaced by arising tension
Losing all oldtime trust

False messages posted in hate
Feelings lingering on thin ice
Opinions rise with a futile fate
Veils engulf our pleading cries

Forever old friends waver away
Peace destroyed by unwanted rage
Leaving us with no more to say
Entrapped within a solid cage

Losing hope for our growing generation
New people, a new time has come
It's our duty to give out inspiration
To determine what will become

Tongue lashing, eyes piercing
Face slapping words of shame
Love fading, truth draining
Soon vileness will reign

Well, this goes under the "Future" thing. At least I think it does. It's written a while ago, I hope thats ok, cause it says nothing in the rules against it.
Hope you like it.

"The long lost dream"
by Wings of an Angel

"I can not save the world" she says,
and looks at the sunset view,
She sits and thinks of wonder woman,
She wants to be her too.

At the age of only ten,
she knows what she'll become,
"If I can not touch everyone,
I will try to touch some."

She has decided years ago,
A writer is what she'll be.
She will not follow the rest of the crowd,
She won't be trapped, but free.

Five years later the dream came back,
"I almost let it fade,"
Now she thinks back to that night,
when the dream of her life was made.

She starts to tell people,
about her long lost dream,
She is so exited,
Out she wants to scream.

But people underestimate her,
"A writer? Please, come on"
Her courage took a turn,
Her fate was nearly gone.

She can't believe they even dared,
To think she couldnt win,
A tear fell down her burning eyes,
She burned deep within.

She decides in that moment,
She will never quit,
"I'm not going to save the world,
I'm going to change it!"

im am so gunna do this! OMG the prizes are amazing! lol ill do it in a little bit.

~Postpartum Deport~

A relationship bound by the court,
two parents yearning to abort.
One child's postpartum deport,
a life, from the start, out of sorts.

The help of two elders, they sought,
a custody battle, never fought.
Drug addict parents, got caught,
important lessons, never taught.

A baby that was left behind,
consequences of a legal bind.
A lifestyle of a different kind,
viewpoints from a distorted mind.

A family separated by years in time,
a life with a different rhythm and rhyme.
Two people, making up for another's crime,
always living off of their last dime.

A difficult situation from the start,
a unique picture, of an unpopular art.
A family, nearly torn apart,
two grandparents, certainly, off the charts.

An unwanted boy, now full grown,
held together by seams, left un-sewn.
Approaching life with a whole different tone,
hoping, some day, to live life on his own.

~Sean Dohr~

I Never Promised
by Sarah Drew

I never promised to love you
You were the only one
Who thought it would pull through

I never promised to be by your side
I told you I hated you
But you still tried

I never promised not to make you cry
I always laughed at your tears
I just wanted you to go and die

I never promised to stay away
From that other girl
You saw us together one day

I never promised I wouldn't tear Your heart into little pieces
It wasn't your heart I wanted to share

I never promised I wouldn't make fun
I loved to laugh at you with my friends
I'm not sorry I broke your heart, hun

I never promised to lay by your side
When you tried to take you life
You should have known I lied

I never promised to go
To your funeral
It was stupid to think I would show

I never promised to leave
Flowers on your grave
I will not even grieve

- I wrote this poem based on a guy who broke my heart and ripped it in two. He's lied to me stabbed me in the back, made me dread the future and hate my past. I hope you like the poem. -

Um.

I guess i'll do this one. i dont know if it fits in the category but..

Caged Animal With A Blade
by xLaurenx

Caged in this dark prison
my only relief: a rusted blade
and the memories of the beauty and light
will forever fade

the cage I'm in is made of your love,
your hate, your pain, and your lies
they've trapped me here for my whole life
and even after i die

this murderous pain and suffering
it is what you've done to my soul
and its being torn apart piece by piece
it'll never again be whole

this cage of death is your love
and this wretched blade is mine
its the only pain i can cause
theres a heart beneath those lines

this razor blade opens the truth
though it seems as though only my skin
it breaks through this barren cage
and shows whats truly within.

feelings mean nothing in this prison
i am but an animal caged and forgotten
only this animal has been torn apart
and has been left cold and rotten

this razor cuts away the dead flesh
and shows whats truly there inside
but this lovely gift comes with a price
and emotions whats denied.

please let me out of this prison
i have exposed my every thought
but still I'm locked up in this prison
even though i am overwrought.

PLEASE-Tell me if this doesn't fit, b/c i have another i will replace it with.. =]

xLaurenx

Unfaithful

Baby, I know exactly what you doing,
when your "with the guys", who are you fooling?
Don't think I don't know about her, because I do,
Yet even though I know, I can't let go of you.

I saw you two kissing, late at night in the park,
I saw you two there, even if it was very dark.
That nearly broke my heart, I was just walking my dog,
You were a prince to me, but now just a lowly frog.

How could you be unfaithful to me, after all I've done,
You said you were going to marry me, and I would have your son.
What happened to that? Now you go breaking my heart?
Well, baby that's messed up, this is where we part.

You can have her, she won't be as good as me,
For I loved you so much, but this is the end baby.
You broke my heart, hope she breaks yours,
Hope she is a criminal and steals the stuff from your drawers.

Have a nice life, that you could've had with me forever,
But now it's too late, you and me don't belong together.
So, see you never, I love you none,
I hope you and your girlfriend have fun.

~*Who Cares?*~
Let me kno if this duznt fit PLEASE!

its not all that great but oh well

accedental

She sits down with all her mates
but they all move away
she wonders what she did wrong
what did she say

they found out she was a cutter
but they thought it was all fake
they thought it was all for attention
and that was a mistake

so she went home
late that night
to write in her diary
about her mates getting into a fight

she went on and on
about how she was sick of it all
she didn't want to go on
and suicide would be her last fall

so she grabbed out a knife
she knew no one else was home
she wanted to kill herself
but the worst thing is she'd die alone

she locked her bedroom door
and started to slice at her wrist
she started to write her suicide note
the note sorta had a twist

the note said she was pretty happy
but she couldn't live without one thing
that thing was her friends
but by that time death would surely win

she sat down with wrists bleeding
she had started to cry
even though now she didn't want to
she was just 13 and starting to die

she tried to get some help
she screamed and screamed for her life
still no one answered
she knew it was a mistake
to use the cruel knife

she didn't want to leave just yet
she didn't want to go
but she was already half dead
cause of pain she couldn't show

she told her friends she was sorry
that she left without saying goodbye
she told them to be happy
and to try their best not to cry

when she was found
she was long dead
they found her suicide note
on the duchess above her head

two days later i guess everyone knew
her parents of course the weep
they just don't believe
that their daughter is asleep

late that night when the lights were out
her parents woke to a glow outside
everyone in the small town crowded the lawn
to morn the girl that died

with candles burning silently a choir started to sing
to let this young girl fly away
with her broken wings

everyone is sad she left
she was a spark to every flame
but everyone always wondered
what was there to blame

but she said it was no ones fault
and that she would be OK
she said she wished for just one thing
it was to live for just one more day......................

Ummmm Okay this contest rocks, lol. Here is mine

~Selfish young girl~

Lies all lies
You selfish young girl
My oh my how I see
Your true colors
Backstabbed by your words
Backstabbed by your lies
I see your true colors
I see how you made him cry.
I hate you
You are a witch
You stole him from me
You cast your lying charm
And took him away.
I hate you
You selfish young girl
I hate you wicked witch
Of the world.
My oh my how I see
The cobwebs of lies
How I will unravel it all
And make him see the truth
I hate you
You took him away
I hate you
You selfish young girl.

By:CJ

Night of Sin

You knew it wasn't right from the start
as you climbed on top; took the reins away
the look in your eyes I can not earase
that empty loving glare

You reached for my lips; cold and stiff from fear
wispered not to say a word; no one would believe it
your hand slid down to my chest
soon my top hit the floor boards

You took your time with every move you made
as if the power and control was satisfying alone
yet you kept going; nothing would stop you now
as I felt the cool air against my legs
I could see the disgusting twinkle
everytime you attempted to wink

You were motivated with every moan
though I could tell you hated yourself too
you saw the pain filling my entire body
but no hesitation was ever shown

After what seemed like eternity in my mind
you climbed down; leaving me completely empty
I have never been so glad to see your back
as those moments when you walked out of that door

there's no escaping the feelings
you instilled in me that night
my heart is now filled with hatred
as I can no longer look in a man's face

I know your not happy with yourself
you refuse to look at me; touch me
I can not say I am disappointed
because I do not wish to see you again
hopefully you have learned a lesson
that you will never again put another girl through a night of sin

Hide my Pain
by ŘÅÇĦ♥

A girl hides her pain
from everyone around
trying not to cry
wishing pain would magically fade away

Everyone thinks she is ok
no one knows how she feels

The chaos in her life is overwhelming
the pain consumes her little by little
until it has her soul

There is no peace she can find
she misses her old life
what she used to have
until grief took it away
and never gave it back

she sits in her room wondering
"why me?"
"Better me than someone else"

The people she loves
tell her things will get better
when they get worse and worse

Her parents fight in the background
her mind wonders
where no mind should wonder
she wishes she could understand what went wrong,
where did the life she once love end....

Pain of Love

Pain of love, aching inside my heart
Invading me like hundreds before
Throwing my natural essence to the ground
Making me cry crystal trears
Oh, when I found love
It started to torture me for years

I smile when you're around me
Because I love you so
And yet when you're gone
The world freezes under snow

I blush as I hear your name
Sink in loveless waters when you're gone
I seem empty with no one
And strangers wonder what is wrong

What's wrong, I think, is that the pain fills my entire body
I start having a want and need, I crave your heavenly loving
I dream of your kisses and uninhibited touch
I never knew I could love you this much

The day you disappeared was the day I lost my mind
I wondered where you went; baby, you were mine
So here I reside
Loveless tears do I cry

I wish I could get the courage to tell you I love you
Kiss you, hug you, tell you all the sh*t I went through
And yet.. I can't.
The pain of love hurts my heart like a knife
Where have I been walking through this longward strife?

Breathe into my lips... make me real
Hear my whispers of love into your ears...
Touch my heart as you've loved me
Love my soul and set me free

Right now I'm in chains; I don't know what to do
I'm scared I'll lose this friendship with you
I can't survive without my dearest friend
I don't want this friendship to ever end

And yet, I want so much more
But I don't think you feel the same
Tell me, what do you think
When I call out your name?

You make me cry from missing you
Make me smile from talking to you
And yet I can't have you
All I want is you
Can't you see?
I love you...

And yet, all the other girls
Hanging on your shoulder
Make me jealous with a rage
And the snow grows colder...

I beg you, save me
Before my heart rips to shreds
If you want me...
Give me a rose that's red

I love you, but you're out of reach
I don't want to lose your trust
You're the first guy I've cried over and with
I love you so much

But if I were to lose you, as much as I can see
I know this pain of love (loveless soul) will take over all of me

Doubts Of Enchantment

By-~David Marshall~

Before we get too old,
before our lives are sold,
make me understand,
why you held my hand,
and made me feel important,
With a mighty breeze of enchantment,
as the sun blares in my eyes,
Is it doubt that I despise?
Because you I can't trust,
turning frail faith to dust,
I had always dreamed,
For an impossible life it seemed.
Treasuring the momenta charms,
like when I held you in my arms,
No matter what I say or do,
My mind digresses to only you.
I had always wished,
you would love me.
We never even kissed,
you barely even hugged me.
Is there any other man,
who can love you like i can?
Is there any one to love you,
anywhere near as I do?
This isn't just a poem,
It's my true feelings.
I really need to show them,
what true love really means.
I want to be that guy,
to give you that ring.
Together until we die,
No matter what life will bring.
I want you to be the girl,
to say the words I DO.
To start our lives unfurl,
to always be with you.
As the night falls,
and the day dies out.
I hear my hearts calls,
but I can't deny this doubt

come on ppl! id really like to get enough entries so the contest can get judged and stuff b4 i leave on vacation..if im even goin now. neway yea hurry up! lol

Mirror Mind
By: Bryce Dressler

I stand up tall
Look in the mirror,
Not knowing my condition
Is very severe.

My ribs show
and are easily seen,
Its just a stage
Im but fourteen.

Slits and cuts
along my arms,
My own Decorations
from my self-harm.

Nobody can see them
I hide them in sleeves,
Nobody can know
About my sudden grief.

The blade I use
Is safely hidden
"Im not suicidal,
You must be mistaken."

Ill feed everyone lies
Never telling the truth,
So nobody will know
about my troubled youth.

I dont need another parent
or another therapist
The boy that needs help
He doesnt exist.

Dont tell me that,
I have so much to live for
Its my decision only
It is not yours

If I decide to die
then dont disagree.
Let me slit my wrist
and end this misery

Two quick cuts
forty seconds of pain
As I sit and watch
all my blood drain.

(C) 2006 Bryce Dressler

ANYHING!
DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.
I DONT CARE
COM ON PPL!

Layers Of Pain

So many layers i have inside
within these tears, they all subside
disappearing behind my own shadows
hidden and then found by everlasting sorrows

memories of your love in my mind stink
i have so much to tell you on your face
something beyond than what you could think
but i prefer to vanish without a trace

tattoo on my skin to hide my scars
memories in my mind to rise the cause
one slip from this thin line of life
& i drown with inconspicuous will to survive

sometimes i realizes my heart is not that cold
but then i wonder why it was always ignored
i have a soul, which no one ever explored
so i embraced depression as my only friend to hold

there's a long way to go before i reach the end
and i'll keep walking even if forever i stay alone
i am not a weak man to follow any suicidal trend
but i have been too much hurt since you have gone

weird feelings passes me by so frequently now
sometimes i wish my heart had a bone
this life has just turned upside down somehow
since my heart became a rolling stone

all my life i tried to be unique in a crowd
and now i stand all alone blaming myself
whispers of a curse could be heard so loud
as long as i could hear those silent bells

ruptured from your love that now stink
i had so much to tell you on your face
realities beyond than what you could think
i wish to share in my end of days

never thought, illusions of darkness could be so true
as i never ever dreamed of being betrayed by you
so these layers of pain still remains inside me
and i keep digging till i reach the root & set pain free

skipping a meal

I feel the pain deep down inside,
That rumbling noise that wont subside,
It echos from my stomach to my toes,
Through every high must come the lows,
And this is my penance for ignoring it so,
I start to feel weak and my body starts to shake,
Want to fall asleep but I cant so I stay awake,
I'm shivering now, watching my arms tremble,
Im trying to stay strong and let my body re-assemble,
Im concentrating on standing strong,
Still not realising something is wrong,
I lose my hearing and I know this is it,
I cant keep strong any more not after that bit,
Suddenly Im seeing black,
And strength I do so lack,
I blink once or twice with blurred vision,
Then it all comes back, the floor, I had a collision,
I hear peoples voices asking if Im ok,
This memory I wont forget it was in the year 2k,
Next thing I see is people hovering over me,
Wanting to know if I had a condition like epilepsy,
I said I was fine, just a little hot,
Someone gave me water and hot it was not,
I took a sip-feeling better already,
Finding my feet and feeling steady,
I knew that I would pass out,
All those little signs I didn't have doubt,
By the time I had realised I couldn't get out,
Getting scared knowing people were about,
This is what comes from skipping a meal,
So please don't do it because you will have to deal,
Feelings of stupidity and shame,
They entered my body knowing I was to blame,
Now I never miss a meal,
I always carry sachets of sugar with me-for real,
Because I know I would never be able to again deal.

~Emah

love from heaven

I would turn around, and
See you there standing
Always with a smile for me
Just like the gentle breeze
Softly blows
You leave me so breathless
I close my eyes and
I can still see you there
Then it all blurs
Cause I'm looking through tears
You were the only one
I believed in
You were the one
I wounded your heart
We seemed to be always so
Far, far away
Far away
In a place
Out of reach
Lost in a dream
In a dream
We stop for a moment
You look in the distance
Then sigh and bow your head
Just like the gentle rain
Softly falls
My heart is the same now
My love hasn't changed
From the day I met you
Even if I'm now
Looking through tears...

Loneliness

I'm sitting on my bed alone in fear,
Desperately wishing that you were here,
In the dark my emotions stir,
Harrowing agony I cannot bear.

In my dreams I imagine this:
You hold me close and my lips you kiss,
With so much passion and so much care,
You gently stroke my long, blonde hair.

We fall asleep with our bodies entwined,
Love so pure and ever so kind,
I pray to God that you will stay,
That our love will remain this way.

But then I awake from my pleasant dream,
The love of my life is no where to be seen,
Sad and alone I shed a tear,
What happened to my lover whom I held so near?

i think they are all great poems here so no chance for me, i will enter next time

Hero

You can't always be there. When I fall. Trying to catch me doesn't work at all. I know you care because you're always there. You can't always be there. When I cry. As the tears swell up in my eyes. You're more of a person than I could ever be. You must understand where I am coming from. You want the best, you want me safe and you need to know that it's just not me. You can't always be there. When I am scared. I feel so small, no bigger than an ant, but I don't want you there when I am scared. I don't want you there when I feel like nothing, zip, zero. Please quit trying to be my hero. You must understand. You can't always be there. When I fall.

Calling

I'm calling but you won't listen
Listen to what i say
You always ignore me
Every night and every day

I can't understand it
It's like I'm not even there
I'm invisible to you
Just a whisper in the air

Tell me why you won't listen
Do you even really hear
Do you see me standing
Right now right here?

Is it that you don't want to
Want to see me at all
Is it that you don't want to
Hear me when i call

And when occasionally you do hear me
Whatever i say is a lie
Do you hear me every night
Alone in my room where i cry?

I think i understand now
why to you I'm not there
I understand it all now
It's that you just don't care
